This curriculum spans the diagnostic and structural work typically conducted across a multi-workshop operational review, addressing the same lead generation infrastructure, data governance, and cross-functional alignment challenges seen in internal capability programs for marketing transformation.

Module 1: Defining Lead Generation Objectives and KPIs

  • Selecting primary conversion metrics (e.g., MQLs vs. SQLs) based on sales funnel maturity and CRM tracking capability
  • Aligning lead volume targets with sales team capacity to avoid lead drop-off and maintain follow-up quality
  • Establishing baseline performance benchmarks using historical campaign data before launching new initiatives
  • Choosing between lead quantity and lead quality focus based on product complexity and sales cycle length
  • Integrating marketing-sourced vs. marketing-influenced revenue attribution to reflect cross-channel impact
  • Setting up quarterly review cadence for KPI recalibration in response to market or product changes

Module 2: Auditing Existing Lead Generation Infrastructure

  • Mapping current lead flow from form submission to CRM entry to identify data loss or latency points
  • Assessing integration health between web forms, marketing automation platforms, and CRM systems
  • Documenting field-level data requirements and identifying gaps in lead scoring model inputs
  • Reviewing UTM parameter consistency across campaigns to ensure accurate source tracking
  • Evaluating landing page performance by bounce rate, form abandonment, and mobile responsiveness
  • Validating lead routing logic in CRM for correct assignment based on geography, product line, or lead score

Module 3: Evaluating Channel Performance and Mix

  • Comparing cost per qualified lead across paid search, social media, and content syndication channels
  • Deciding whether to maintain or sunset underperforming channels based on 90-day conversion lag data
  • Assessing organic search visibility for core solution pages and identifying content gaps
  • Reviewing third-party lead vendor contracts for data freshness, exclusivity, and compliance adherence
  • Measuring email campaign engagement decay over time and adjusting list segmentation rules
  • Conducting A/B tests on channel-specific CTAs to determine messaging resonance

Module 4: Lead Data Quality and Compliance Assessment

  • Implementing automated email validation at point of capture to reduce bounce rates
  • Running deduplication routines across CRM and marketing databases using deterministic matching rules
  • Updating consent language and preference centers to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and CAN-SPAM requirements
  • Classifying lead data into tiers based on completeness (e.g., job title, company size, tech stack)
  • Establishing data retention policies for inactive leads to align with privacy regulations
  • Conducting third-party audits of data enrichment tools for accuracy and sourcing transparency

Module 5: Sales and Marketing Alignment Review

  • Facilitating joint definition of lead qualification criteria using input from sales team feedback loops
  • Documenting SLA adherence for lead response time and identifying bottlenecks in handoff process
  • Mapping lead status stages in CRM to reflect actual sales progression, not idealized models
  • Introducing closed-loop feedback mechanisms for rejected leads to refine targeting criteria
  • Co-developing ideal customer profile (ICP) updates based on win/loss analysis and churn data
  • Scheduling bi-weekly syncs between marketing operations and sales operations to resolve data discrepancies

Module 6: Technology Stack Rationalization

  • Consolidating redundant form tools or chatbot vendors to reduce maintenance overhead and data fragmentation
  • Evaluating whether current marketing automation platform supports dynamic content and behavioral triggers
  • Assessing API reliability between webinar platforms and CRM for real-time attendance-based lead scoring
  • Deciding whether to build custom lead capture forms or use native CMS integrations based on scalability needs
  • Reviewing analytics platform configuration to ensure event tracking captures micro-conversions
  • Planning data warehouse integration to enable cohort analysis and long-term lead lifecycle reporting

Module 7: Governance and Scalability Planning

  • Establishing naming conventions and campaign taxonomy to maintain reporting consistency across teams
  • Defining change management protocols for modifying lead scoring models or routing rules
  • Assigning ownership for list hygiene tasks such as re-engagement campaigns and suppression lists
  • Creating escalation paths for technical failures in lead ingestion pipelines
  • Developing documentation standards for campaign setup, including audience targeting and tracking specs
  • Planning for peak demand periods (e.g., product launches) with pre-approved budget and resource allocation
